BECOME A MOCAD VISIONARY

Given the extraordinary nature of our times, MOCAD needs your help more than ever to continue delivering critical educational programs, provocative exhibitions, and meaningful community engagement.

A donation to this year’s Visionary Benefit will allow MOCAD to continue playing an essential role in shaping and supporting Detroit’s emergence as a global center for contemporary art and culture, with the commitment to artistic freedom and youth engagement that sets MOCAD apart.

As we look forward to 2021 together, help realize MOCAD’s mission as a creative nucleus and community hub. Your gift supports the incredible artists who call Detroit home as well as those who travel from around the world to share their work, while helping MOCAD admission remain free of charge for everyone along the way.

OUR MISSION

MOCAD delivers exhibitions and programs that explore the best of contemporary art, connecting Detroit and the global art world. MOCAD is focused on art to nurture social change and human understanding, that reflects our community. We encourage innovative experimentation by all types of artists and scholars to enrich and educate diverse visitors in the power of art. We welcome local and international creative voices who can guide us to an equitable and inclusive future. We believe it is our responsibility to utilize art to move us towards a more hopeful and accepting community.

KEEP MOCAD ADMISSION FREE

MOCAD averages 60,000 visitors each year, giving opportunities to attend dozens of art exhibitions and nearly 250 free public programs including artist talks, live productions, and workshops—both onsite at MOCAD and virtually online. Facing challenges in 2020, MOCAD expanded its reach online while mounting important exhibitions by artists from Detroit and beyond.

Exhibitions and public programs at MOCAD bring cutting-edge contemporary culture to Detroit and share Detroit’s artistic excellence with the world. Gifts to the Visionary Benefit will help MOCAD’s ambitious programming return in full capacity next year.
